Kim, Vivekanand Kumar, Boris Chernomordik, and Mahendra K. Sunkara* Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Louisville, Louisville, USA Key words: plasma, atmospheric pressure, microwave, argon, oxygen, nanowire, nanoparticle, metal oxide Abstract: We report the design of an atmospheric microwave plasma reactor to produce metal oxide nanowires. The reactor has a custom-made tapered waveguide and a 2.45GHz, 3kW (MKS ASTeX) magnetron and power supply unit for generating highly dense microwave plasma. As a result, a high temperature microwave plasma flame inside a quartz tube of 2 in. diameter and 1 ft. length was generated to produce metal oxide nanowires and nanoparticles. High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) software was used to simulate the electric field distribution inside the dielectric tube. Mikrovalovni plazemski reaktor za ucinkovito izdelavo velike kolicine anorganskih nanozick Kjucne besede: plazma, atmosferski tiak, mikrovalovi, argon, kisik, nanozicke, nanodelci, kovinski oksidor Izvlecek: Predstavljamo konstrukcijske resitve pri razvoju in izdelavi plazemskega reaktorja za proizvodnjo nanozick kovinskih oksidov. Reaktor znacilno deluje pri atmosferskem tlaku. Z razvojem novega posebej prilagojenega valovnega vodnika, magnetrona z najvecjo mocjo 3kW in frekvenco 2.45 GHz in ustreznega mocnostnega napajalnika smo uspeli v razelektritveni komori dobiti izredno gosto mikrovalovno plazmo. Znotraj kvarcne cevi s premerom okoli 5 cm in dolzino okoli 0.5 m ustvarimo plamen izredno vroce plazme, v katerem poteka sinteza nanozick in drugih nanodelcev kovinskih oksidov. Porazdelitev elektricnega polja smo tudi izracunali z uporabo primerne programske opreme. 1 Introduction Plasma has been used for various interesting applications particularly with production of nanomaterials /1-5/, quantum dots /6-8/, carbon nanostructures /9-12/, surface treatment /13-18/, decomposition /19-21 /, and functional treatment /22-26/. One popular process for producing metal oxide nanowires is plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) /27/. Inorganic nanowires are an interesting set of nanostructures with a lot of potential applications in the fields such as solar cells /28/, Li-ion batteries /29/, nano-composites /30-32/, gas sensing /33-35/, and others. In many of these applications, nanowires are needed in large quantities. Thus, an efficient method for bulk production of nanowires is needed. The methods employed so far include catalyst-based Vapor Liquid Solid (VLS) /36/, thermal evaporation /37/, laser ablation /38/, hydrothermal synthesis /39/, sol-gel /40/, electrodeposition, plasma foil oxidation /41-44/ and others. None of these methods, however, are capable of producing nanowires in bulk amounts because they are all based on the use of a substrate or template which limits the amount of material that can be synthesized /45/. A truly bulk production system would require a vertical reactor with the ability to treat the metal powders continuously in gas phase and sweep the reacted species away from the reaction zone. Design of such a reactor would invariably involve plasma or a combustion flame. The system would also require a fast, high through-put system, direct reaction (without the need of any substrate), highly dense dissociated reactive gases, large volume, and a stable and efficient flame system. An atmospheric system /46-48/ would be less expensive than vacuum, and would likewise be easier and faster to operate. The combustion flame method has been used to produce nanoparticles by completely vaporizing the metal powder /49/. However, it is prone to carbon contamination with the vapor sources-(e.g from oxygenacetylene (or CnHm))-and is not ideal for creating molten metal conditions required for nanowires. The plasma employed in such a reactor could be based on medium frequency (MF), radio frequency (RF), capacitively/inductively coupled plasma (C/ICP), microwave (MW), and direct current (DC) /50-53/. MF, RF, and C/ICP require the use of a co-axial cable, which makes it difficult to produce plasma for bulk production because the cable would melt if high density plasma is obtained. DC plasma uses electrodes which degrade easily under atmospheric conditions because of presence of oxygen in the gas species. This requires frequent change of electrodes which causes contamination problems /54-55/. To avoid this problem, an electrode-less high temperature plasma can be used to produce metal oxide nanowires under atmospheric pressure. RF uses co-axial cables to generate plasma, which makes it difficult to make large volume, high temperature plasma under atmospheric conditions with low power (1 to 3 kw). RF can also be used at atmospheric conditions for producing nanowires but at higher powers, e.g 30kW /56/. Microwave energy can be used to generate large volume plasma without electrodes, thus avoiding contamination 237
